2024 is set to be quite an intense work year for me, quite a few exciting things going on! These will crop up in future posts but for now I'll just that there will be history work coming on: colonial urban planning and military landscapes; fish and fishing in the history of the built environment; history of infrastructures. There'll also be interdisciplinary discussion of watery agency. As a still recovering twitter addict, I'll still be trying to learn more mindful ways of using social media without either becoming obsessed with it or dropping off completely. Let's see how all this goes!

Call for Papers EXTENDED to 20 October, EAUH 2024 Cities at the Boundaries. I'm co-chairing Main Session M11 Borders Infrastructures and Places in the Modern City:

This session explores the urban dimension of infrastructural development over the last two-hundred and fifty years, both in terms of how infrastructures have transformed cities and how urban dynamics have shaped infrastructure. This brings together histories of matter, energy and people to produce entangled histories of cities as environments.
